In our renovation, my husband and I are trying to keep it really simple-- we don't want a lot of cabinetry, we don't need or want a subzero refrigerator or a Viking range; we want a warm place for our children, our family, and our friends to gather. Lots of wood, hanging pots, utensils stored around the stove, some movable furniture, etc... There are some fantastic ideas in this book though. One of the chefs spotlighted is Alice Waters. She has a wood burning stove that would be incredible to have. Not sure what one does with a wood burning stove (and clearly I am not a candidate for one given my inability to cook oatmeal in a slow cooker) but wow does it look cozy. There are kitchens that are, in my opinion, over done and kitchens that are so rustic they might have existed hundreds of years ago in this book. I am enjoying my nightly reading about kitchens more than I ever thought I would.

this sounds like a really interesting book!!
That book sounds awesome! I seriously need to check out your library. What child development books are you reading?
What a cool book! I'm going to see if our library has that one. Looking forward to hearing more about how you are making your new place your own!
Kitchens are so important, don't you think? I feel most of our life takes place there.
